BREAKING: A spokesperson for the Atlanta Solidarity Fund confirmed that the Georgia Attorney General’s Office will drop all money laundering charges against the three organizers.

Hillbilly Elegy is so funny, writing a book dripping with empathetic language where you’re ostensibly trying to get to the bottom of why everyone in your hometown including your mom is an unemployed drug addict but arriving at the conclusion “it’s because they’re lazy”

I don’t normally post actual rough drafts, but this one on AI-assisted police reports is too interesting and troubling to ignore.  Besides I need some experts on #AI, #policing, and #PublicDefense to engage on it. https://t.co/JZwG5ovOV5 1/10

@normalveronica I have been saying that for so long! I hate the term like wtf

@rivermonsterr I read that Catholic workers make under the federal poverty line to not support the war machine

@GrapefruitGals @Catsorange1 @justinamash Wow the IDF really seems like a reliable and disinterested source here

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

If you had stood resolutely with Israel, you can still change you mind. You can see the bombing of a hospital and realize you’ve been misled. I was taught Zionism my whole childhood, until I learned more and changed my mind. You do not need to condone unspeakable atrocities.

So is Biden going to wield American power and press our ally for reasonable humanitarian concessions? Or does he really agree with the insane belief that a terrorist attack justifies retaliation with absolutely no bounds on suffering and casualties?

Never in my life have I seen a world sanctioned genocide in full display, being livetweeted & live streamed, with officials not even hiding their intentions, and people condemning it being attacked in full force. Usually genociders take some effort to hide what they're doing.

We were explicitly told that building a wall and decimating ecosystems would stop with the orange guy.

[Dani Ellis @lapinesque]

Briefly back on twitter to put the word out that Rojava is currently under the most intense aerial bombardment we’ve witnessed in years.

Turkey are openly destroying vital civilian infrastructure. In the last 24 hours they’ve hit half a dozen sites and killed at least 8 workers.

[Beth McColl @imbethmccoll]

who (aside from her!) would do an absolutely beautiful job of performing this as a monologue? I’m thinking thinking but just… can’t quite get it

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

Well, it's official. President Biden has waived 26 of our nation's most important environmental laws to rush border wall construction.

They have stripped legal protections from some of the most vulnerable communities & wildlife in the nation to build a useless, medieval wall.

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

BREAKING: Biden admin will waive 26 laws to build border walls through South Texas wildlife refuge & nearby communities.

Biden's DHS will take “immediate action" to speed wall construction, casting aside protections for endangered species, clean water, Indigenous graves & more.
